Thanks for posting - I had no real idea that these were still flying. The F50s seem old enough.
My first commercial flight was an Ansett (probably Airlines of NSW) F27 flight SYD-WGA-SYD. So long ago that my sister and I were invited into th cockpit during descent into SYD

It's funny how and a/c can bring back good memories.
I did Melbourne to Wynyard and return on a TAA F27 in 1979. I was lucky enough to be in the cockpit for the landing at Wynyard. The loss of F27 VH-TFB in 1960 lead to the introduction of FDR/CVR.
